- Recipe here: www.joyofbakin... Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Date Squares. Date Squares are also called Date Slices or even Matrimonial Bars. They consist of two buttery layers of an oatmeal shortbread crust that are sandwiched together with pureed dried dates scented with vanilla. I just love their wonderfully sweet yet earthy flavor. Absolutely perfect with a hot cup of tea.

I love the way you don’t assume that everyone has all the right equipment and give other options. Don’t know how you don’t have 10m subscribers as you make everything seem achievable even for beginner bakers. Thanks for all the tips.
D Heffernan >> I 100% AGREE !!
I’m so happy to get this recipe. My mother died in 1960 and she always made this every Christmas. I’ve never been able to make it like she and you. Thank you! 🥰
Love your recipes. I have tried a few and they are perfect!
And thank you again for the metric measurements for people living outside US.
Loved your recipe and video, Stephanie.
I've made these dates squares for years.
My only twists on your recipe are to cook the dates with 50% water and 50% fresh orange juice. It's because I like the orange presence with the dates. I use less orange zest but keep the vanilla flavouring.
I don't puree the date mixture because, as a personal preference, I enjoy the texture of the date filling as is.
When I was a kid, my mom always made "Betty Crocker" date bar from a box mix, it was quick & easy. Everyone loved them. They no longer make the box mix unfortunately. I love they way your bars look. You always make it easy and enjoyable to make your recipes too. I will have to make these. P.S. It's always a treat to see your beautiful dog!
I thought baking was difficult. But after watching your video, I changed my mind that I wanted to try it. Thanku :)
beautiful watch
I never get tired of watching your video’s. I have been a fan for a long time. I love this recipe because it’s a no sugar recipe! Much healthier!!
Fun fact: hands are the most useful tools to have in a kitchen! And this looks like what my mom use to make me, before I went diabetic. I can't eat them, but looking at all your recipe is a great pleasure for me! And thank you so much for using the metric system along with US measurements.
Looks good and I made some date bars yesterday for the church guest and they loved them. ❤
Joy my mother called it matrimonial cake. I love watching you cook and bake as you are so neat and clean in the process.
Yes, my Mom used a similar name Matrimonial Bars.
My dad received a TON of dates as a gift from family in the middle east. I had been looking for a recipe for them and these look perfect. Thank you!
I haven't had date bars in decades. I remember, as a kid, my mother would go to the bakery and I got to choose one free item...the lady always wanted to give me a cookie but I always chose the date bar, they were my absolute favorite. I ordered dates and as soon as they arrive I'm making this.
I absolutely love the way you take time and explain things a little so everyone regardless of what terms or measurement system they use can follow. Thank you!
I love date squares! Thank you for this recipe!
You brought back childhood memories for me. My mom made these and the house smelled so good. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I have a clamshell container of dates in the fridge right now. Think this will be my next baking adventure; they’re so easy to make. Probably will use almond extract (since I’m out of vanilla) and stir in some toasted walnuts in the date mixture. Thank you for sharing.
Love that you are updating old videos. Thank you for making "newer version" videos.
I made it today. It is delicious. I add cinnamon, cloves and orange blossom water to the dates. Lovely. Thank you.
I love your deliciuos recipe....it make me smile all the time....thanks again aunty(with respect)...in our place call aunty,and uncle is much respect name call to elderly person.
Thanks Stephanie for your wonderful recipe are my idol in baking Love you Stephanie keep doing your great work appreciate it😘😘😜😝😉👏👏
Thank you Stefanie, these are ideal for Ramadan.
We're stocking up on dates for Ramadhan for breaking our fast, so we have lots of dates at the moment. I will definitely be making this for my family.
These look delicious. Should be everyones favourite in my opinion.
I love dates so I'm definitely making this recipe soon. Thank you💕
Stephanie, I would be fascinated if you did a little mini series of a few of your mothers recipes. I adore old recipes
N and
i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Jamir Blake Instablaster =)
@Brian Ryder I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Brian Ryder It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out !
Great recipe that I've done many times at home and at work for my senior guests...and not too sweet!
My husband adores date squares I’m making these today. Love your tutorials simply brilliant thank you
I made these with chopped walnuts in the 1960’s ! Forgot about how good these are warm from the oven! Add a little bit of butter on top while warm !
Thank you ma'am for this typical Canadian treat recipe.
As per Ayurveda, eating dates warms up your body, so eating it in winters along with nuts and seeds is a good idea.
As for "matrimonial cookies" , my guess is , either it used to be served exclusively at weddings in those days, or, it is called so due to "matrimony" between the dates and the oatmeal :)
Best regards !
Thank you 🙏🏼 رائعة.شكرا لك
I agree with the comment below. thanks Stephanie. The taste took me back to my childhood.
As a child in New Zealand 🇳🇿My Mother Made a Square with crushed graham cracker crumbs , chocolate, date , marshmallows. The year was 1966 . I can’t remember the name of it . Great Instructional Video. 🌸
What a great recipe! I cannot wait to try it this weekend
excellent i am presently making them, excellent explanations. Thank you.
Let me put this way .. you inspired a young man from thousands miles of the states .. i established my local business based on too many tricks that you taught me .. million thx wont be enough for you chief 🤗
What business Mohammad?
I love watching your amazing recipes. Thank you for Sharing.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, YOU EXPLAIN SO WONDERFULLY, AND GIVE THE RECIPES IMMEDIATLY, YOU ARE GREATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are amazing!!!!!!!!! FROM ONE CHEF TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BEST LAURA.
U are simply the best when it comes to baking!!! 💜💜💜
Never tried dates but they look delicious tfs💕
Oh my goodness, I LOVE dates. They’re such a wonderful snack on their own, but I would love to try this. They’re so naturally rich and sweet.
Yum, easy to make, and I just may make these, but I would lift them out of the pan to cut them, so much easier to cut them that way..... we make an oatmeal bar with different kinds of jam inside and they are easy & delicious my Daughter and I made them before and we loved them.....good job Stephanie.....
Thank you so much the recipe turned out great and my friends loved it! Appreciate it
I am so happy to looking you making any cake is so nicely clean exemple marble cake , blueberries cheese pound cake ....Thx for teaching
Thank you for such a great recipe
I found adding 1/2 cup of apple juice to water gives filling more flavor, it's also easier to spread. Great recipe 👍
You Stephanie..
Just wanted to let u know.. I tried it eggless chocolate cake.. and it was perfect.. a hit.
Thank you so so much.. really appreciate
Be blessed..😍😍😍❤
Yum. I miss these so much from when we used to make the mix at home. I thought we used to bake the bottom crust 10 minutes first for the box mix, then add next two layers. Might help any crumbling issue.
I like your omitting sugar from the date filling -- because dates are already quite sweet.
the best flavor which goes well with the dates is cardamom 😋
Thank you !
Thanks again for one of your wonderful recipes. You are a great teacher. Really like watching your video's.
Again a wonderful presentation as well as a delicious recipe
Was eagerly waiting for your recipe😋😋!! Thanku...looking forward to try out soon
Look delicious thank you Stephanie.
Wow... Thank you for another new dessert
I tried this ... Delicious.. Thanks Stephanie.
Very delicious love dates thank you 👍🌷
Dates? I think these were made to order for my hubby! Thanks, he'll be happy!
I must make those. I'd just reduce the sugar a bit. Yummy. Thank you.
Thanx for sharing. I would never have thought of using dates in this way before 😘
❤️. I love date bars. I have a recipe but I will try yours. They look delicious! Plus my recipes makes a big pan and sometimes you only need a few. Thank you
wow this is good with coffee
Yet another recipe to look forward to trying. Thank you, Stephanie. PS: I love your squash-shaped casserole.
I miss my grandma making these when I was a kid. I'll have to make these sometime soon. They look really yummy.
Stephanie! This looks amazing! I love that you show us at the beginning how it's going to look like and you explain everything so well! I could be wrong, but I am thinking that you may have a lot of extra food around, and I like to eat, and I'm thinking I could come live with you and help you eat food. I could go with you on dog walks, and do the unpleasant part? You just say the word and I'll pack up and come help :)
Sue Dean: you’re so cute. I would love it if she was my friend and next door neighbor! I really think she is so kind and her friends are lucky to have her.
Looks Delicious, thank you !
It is delicious .we can bake it for Ramadan and Eid .
You can use ready date paste
Yummy yummy
Thank you for all nice recipes, I think if we replace the white flour with brown one it will healthier
Love this recipe 🌹👏🏽
Yummy!
Love these squares! Thx!!
it's too good
Nicely done. We make pastry stuffed with dates in the Middle East but usually they are closed . Shaped circular or like a roll or like Cornish pasty but smaller.They are known as ma’mool or klecha. You can find ma’mool in most Arabic shops in the west. We certainly have them here in London . A little bit of cardamom powder would add such a lovely flavour.
Wow. That sounds like a delicious pastry. Never thought to add cardamom, but it would go perfectly with the flavor of the dates.
Joy of Baking
Thank you for replying . Indeed it would. Cardamom powder is so versatile . It adds such a different dimension to foods sweet or savoury . As I added in my previous comment , ma’mool which is a dates stuffed pastry is available in Arabic shops. I am certain you can find them in the us too. We have them here in London . I’m sure you will like them . Thanks again.
Beautiful stuff u r the best😁😁🤩🤩
💐💐💐💐💐thank you for your delicious recipe.
If you add cardamom powder into the date pureé OMG it’s gona take the test to other level but don’t use too much cz cardamom is a strong spice ❤️♥️
Hi can I use a hand masher to purée this or a hand mixer? I don’t have a food processor blender or immersion blender
Yes you can do that.
@@joyofbaking thanks!
You can use the seeds for plantation. I would suggest not to throw seeds away but plant them in soil😄 Never throw any seeds and peels. I always plant seeds and use the peels for compost in my pots.
If I’m not a fan of dates, can I substitute them with something else? Like maybe raisins or dried apricots or something else?
Buy a can of cranberry sauce, ( NOT the jelly kind ) and use that instead . Equally delicious.
Thank you 😘 for everything
Hi, I really love the way you explain to make all recipes.
Can I put in the freezer for how long?
Congratulations!!!!
Thanks !
Yes, they can be frozen for a month or two.
Love these can't wait to make them, need more dates, only have about 1/2 bag.....I use these in muffins too.....or I just eat them by themselves during the day as a snack.....great recipe.....Thanks Stephanie..... Was that you walking your dog ?
Will try
I have made this and the taste is superb! I use the ground cinnamon since it enhances the flavor and of course, smells wonderful! I will make this for my friends who celebrates Eid al Fitr since dates are definitely favorite snack after fasting. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Lovely recipe as always!
thanks this is love recipe
For a 9*13 pan just double the recipe? I have used dried apricots too. Thank you.
Hi Stephanie, I have a question please can I substitute the firmly packed brown sugar with white sugar + molasses?If yes what are the measurements ?! Thank you for your delicious recipes.
Delicious! Thank you Stephanie
Hafa adai from Guam, looks yummy
I love date squares! Thank for such a good presentation. :D
Love this recipe! Wondering if there is a way to use less butter and less brown sugar to cut out calories 🙈 I shall experiment - im inspired :)
Hi Stephanie ☺
Matrimonio is an italian word and it means "Wedding"😆
Your date squares look really gorgeous ..mmhh. I like dates and I'll try this recipe.
Bravissima 😊😚👏👏👏👏👏👄👄👄
These look so good. Thank you for the recipe. I wonder if you could substitute figs for the dates and make fig newtons.
That should work.
Yummy!😋 Can it be done replacing the dates with dried figs? Thank you for sharing! 🤗
I Love Your channel, like how you explaine Simple, that you say...First, do this, Then.. makes easier to prep. These look Yummy, my Dad loved dates. Am going to try! And, i saved the recipe you showed Dec 28,2018 for Nanaimo Bars..they looked So Good! Have to Look for Custard Powder ! "/Still Have to Try! ") Do You have a Good recipe for the "old fashion" potatoe chip cookies, with choc chips ?!
I have made these before but I think this rwecipe is better.
Thake you for recipe and I like date
Stephanie, you're so precise with your recipes and measurements which I love. I wish all bakers used a scale! However, you never specify the type of oven in your videos or recipes - convection (fan forced) or conventional oven. This can greatly effect the temperature. Will you start adding this to your recipes?
You can use either type of oven. I don't say temperature differences because in some ovens there is a correction required and some not. Newer ovens don't require a correction for convection. My current oven doesn't require a correction. Check the manual of your oven to see if a correction for convection is required.
